The feminism symbol

Black Feminist Future is a community initiative formed by members of the African American feminist community, with the aim of amplifying the power of Black women and girls in community organizing and online engagement. The group was formed in reaction to the aftermath of a police shooting at Ferguson, Missouri in 2014.

Initiatives

In the aftermath of the shooting of Korryn Gaines, Black Feminist Future urged people across the country to build altars to honor black women.

In 2016, the group launched an initiative named "Freedom Dreams 2016". The initiative includes making "visioning saloons" to build vision and movement that centers the African-American feminist lives. The aim is to effect politics and revising the laws which are believed to up to incorporate racial discrimination.

Background

The group is a social community formed by the black feminist organizations to empower black women in United States for the recent cultural shift, digital movement and engaging both black women and girls in the current pulse of movements. It is a platform to unite black women from all over the world to share their point of view about what it is being a black woman in US both socially and politically. The basic purpose of this community is to change the mindset of the people as well as the internal thoughts of black women about herself as being a neglected part of the society and to change the racial policies that are present in the US culture from a very long time while advancing intersectional strategies, making innovative and determinable solutions for bringing a change in society.
